grinding2 negative mentions

  • Engaging urban fantasy story with a nostalgic early 2000s anime art style.
  • Interesting characters, especially the well-developed female leads and strong voice acting.
  • Combination of visual novel storytelling and classic dungeon-crawler RPG gameplay with branching storylines and multiple endings.
  • Repetitive and sometimes tedious dungeon crawling gameplay that may become tiresome.
  • AI upscaled graphics in the remaster are often blurry and detract from the original art style, with no option to revert to the original resolution.
  • The story and world-building are somewhat bland and underdeveloped, with many male characters feeling irrelevant and the protagonist lacking depth.
  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story offers a dark urban fantasy with supernatural suspense and heartfelt character moments, featuring branching storylines and multiple endings that enrich replay value. However, it is often described as surface-level, overly long, and somewhat bland, with the protagonist as a typical self-insert and limited world-building. The remaster improves accessibility for those focused on story and characters but retains much of the original’s dated structure and pacing.

    • “I didn't have any problems with the main heroines as each individual 'route' helped in establishing their characters while delving into who each one of them are and their place within the story, with some having more prominent roles in the grand scheme of things while some (or honestly just one of them) not being completely relevant to the story itself but still establish themselves strongly as you go through their respective route.”
    • “Branching storylines, character routes, multiple endings, and crafting systems reward replay.”
    • “However, if you're a visual novel player who wants an interesting story with multiple twists and realistic romance, it's an even better option, especially if you're tired of the generic stories that modern adult games tend to have, since it will keep you entertained for a long time “truly” reading.”
    • “The story itself isn't too special and the worldbuilding left more to be desired, which is honestly disappointing since the ideas present within the game start off interesting but fall short due to being surface level at most and not elaborated on further.”
    • “The storyline for all playthroughs will pretty much be the same; you just get different scenes based on which heroine you choose to focus on for that playthrough, including the H scenes (if you have it patched in) and an extra scene once you complete it.”
    • “The story had potential but is pretty bland and way too long for the amount of story.”
  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay combines visual novel storytelling during the day with classic, retro-style dungeon crawling at night, featuring familiar RPG mechanics such as physical and magical attacks, traps, and treasure. While the remaster adds quality-of-life improvements like tutorials and enemy info, the core gameplay feels dated, repetitive, and lacking variety, appealing mainly to fans nostalgic for early 2000s RPG-visual novel hybrids. Overall, it offers a nostalgic but somewhat tedious experience not ideal for those seeking modern gameplay depth or abundant adult content.

    • “This version adds features that help with gameplay sections such as earning double the amount of resources (XP, moon fragments, TP, etc.) and disables the invisibility of enemies, traps, and treasure within the map.”
    • “During the day, the gameplay is mostly visual novel-style. At night, the 'real' gameplay begins as you explore a dungeon with an isometric view full of traps, enemies, and treasures.”
    • “It also has added gameplay options to make it more friendly for current players, such as tutorials, information about enemies (weaknesses, type, attacks, drops, etc.), information on relationships with the heroines, an option to remember weapon crafting, and, of course, uncensored sexual content.”
    • “Speaking about the game itself, its gameplay loop could use some more variety.”
    • “Overall, if you're an avid RPG player like me, the gameplay is nothing you haven't seen before.”
    • “This title has gameplay improvements, but it remains the same core, making it repetitive and tedious to play.”
  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics retain the classic early 2000s anime art style, now remastered with higher resolution, smoother edges, and updated visuals to fit modern screens. While some feel the remaster muddles the original's timeless charm, most appreciate the faithful preservation of the style enhanced by clearer visuals and a refined UI. Overall, the remastered graphics successfully blend nostalgia with modern improvements.

    • “High-res visuals, full Japanese voices, and a rearranged soundtrack enhance its moody, grotesque atmosphere.”
    • “Remastered 2D visuals with improved resolution and smoother edges. Classic anime art style remains faithful to the original.”
    • “The game available on Steam is the remastered version, in which the graphics from the 2000 version have been rescaled to fit modern screens, with smoother edges.”
    • “It just muddles Yoru ga Kuru's artstyle with the backgrounds looking odd and just blending into each other, and doesn't do the original release's style justice which honestly looks timeless.”
    • “This game's not a remake but remastered, so you can play it on present windows. All the system gameplay and graphics are from 2001, but it has a little bit of help system such as remastered options. So if you don't mind how old it is, I suggest you play it to feel the glory of Alicesoft's good old days.”
    • “The game available on Steam is the 'remastered' version, in which the graphics from the 2000 version have been rescaled to fit modern screens, with smoother edges.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is generally praised for its quality and atmospheric contribution, featuring a phenomenal, rearranged soundtrack that enhances the game's mood. However, some users find the soundtrack limited and repetitive, with only a handful of tracks.

    • “The girls are cute and the soundtrack is phenomenal, as expected of peak shade.”
    • “High-res visuals, full Japanese voices, and a rearranged soundtrack enhance its moody, grotesque atmosphere.”
    • “Music is decent but very repetitive, there are like maybe 5 tracks.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a dynamic emotional experience by blending lighthearted, slice-of-life school moments with tense supernatural battles, seamlessly balancing heartfelt character interactions and high-stakes suspense.

    • “Between slice-of-life school moments and tense dungeon battles, the narrative weaves emotional highs and lows.”
    • “The story blends supernatural suspense with heartfelt character moments.”
    • “The game balances lighthearted school interactions with darker, high-stakes battles against the light hunters, creating a dynamic emotional journey.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is moody and grotesque, enhanced by high-resolution visuals, full Japanese voice acting, and a rearranged soundtrack, deviating from the typical lighthearted tone of standard JRPGs.

    • “High-res visuals, full Japanese voices, and a rearranged soundtrack enhance its moody, grotesque atmosphere.”
    • “It's pretty much a standard JRPG with no sign of the usual silly atmosphere.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is notably repetitive and can become tedious, especially in dungeon sections without using the modern setting. While the remastered version offers some improvements, the core gameplay still involves substantial dungeon grinding that may feel mind-numbing for players not fond of classic RPGs.

    • “Despite the playtime, it's a whole lot of dungeon grinding, especially if you don't use the modern setting (I highly recommend this unless you love to grind, as the dungeons become mind-numbing after a while).”
    • “Although this title has gameplay improvements, it remains the same core, making it repetitive and tedious to play, especially for those who are not fans of classic RPGs or visual novels focused on story rather than NSFW content.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers high replayability thanks to multiple endings and hidden CGs, encouraging players to revisit and explore different outcomes.

    • “Multiple endings and hidden CGs extend replayability.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users perceive the humor aspect as ineffective or unappreciated, often interpreting "jester" or similar negative awards as trolling rather than genuine praise. Overall, the humor is not taken seriously and has little impact beyond minor in-game rewards.
